This semester, the Annie Gabriel Library is offering two special new features to help students
in their quest for research-oriented
information.
First, the library has added a
new aspect to its OCLC resources. OCLC, which stands for Online Computer Library Center,
provides access to a large database
of library resources from libraries
across the country. This retrieval
system is based on receiving materials from author and title
searches, much like one would
conduct using an old-fashion card
catalog.
This semester, the library has
purchased 500 blocks of a new research tool called First Search.
First Search allows the user to access the OCLC database, not only

AS plans TV project
reaching community
By Jennifer Hall
Staff Writer
A new project is in the works
for Cal Baptist. ASCBC, along
with several volunteers, is developing a television show for cable
Channel 3.
The half hour show will be divided into three segments: Community Service, Education and
Crime Watch. Each of the four
schools will be spotlighted once
a month.
The content of Cal Baptist's
segment is determined by the AS.
Coston said "It's basically our
time. We can say whatever we
want about the school."
Four high schools have been
assigned to each participating college. Cal Baptist will be responsible for Arlington, Norte Vista,
Indian Hills, and Jurupa Valley
high schools. The students from
these schools will, in turn, visit
elementary schools looking for
children and faculty involved in
community service projects. All
students will be spotlighted on
the show.
Jennifer Bartell, Keri Over-
street, Nichelle Nichols and Jason
Bartlett have volunteered to represent CBC in the joint project
with UCR, RCC and La Sierra
University. They will be scouting
high school campuses for students and faculty members involved in community service.
The show was the brainchild of
retired educator Len Colton, who
has experimented with similar
shows in the past. He approached
ASCBC with the idea and they
ran with it. ASCBC President
Jamie Coston recruited Bartell,
Overstreet, Nichols, and Bartlett
to coordinate the project.
"Len basically needed an orgini-
zational group on campus," said
Coston. "It's our goal to increase
community awareness."

by author and title, but by subject as well, allowing students to
expand their searches. First
Seach provides students with a
bibliography of materials, including both books and periodicals
such as professional journals and
popular magazines.
The bibliography gives the author, title, a one to three paragraph synopsis of information
contained in the resource, and
where the resource is available.
Librarian June Reeder said that
First Search is an important addition. The library still provides
the EPIC search feature from
OCLC. While EPIC does provide a larger list of materials
available, use of this feature requires the student to pay a use
fee.
Reeder said that First Search
provides a list of available resources that is more than adequate
for most students' needs, and this
service has already been purchased
by the library, and thus can be
provided free of charge to the students.

Self-study proceeds
By Randy Beck
Staff Writer
For over a semester now, facul-
ity, staff, administration, and students have played an important
part in the reseach and analysis
required for Cal Baptist's upcoming accreditation review in October of this year.
The college is a member of the
Western Association of Schools
and Colleges (WASC) and is preparing for a review by a team of
faculty members and administrators from other colleges.
In October of this year, the
team will arrive and remain for
three days where it will study and
review the college and its opera
tions to see if the college is
achieving its requiremtents and
goals as an institution.
In a recent interview, Dr. Stephen Carelton, Academic Dean,
emphasized the importance of
such an association and its effect
on the educational system. He
shared that they are not "boogey
men in the sky" threatening to
destroy what every institution
that does not meet its requirements, but rather he stressed the
importance they play in bringing
in suggestions and recommendations to help benefit institutions
in the future.

team's visit in October 5-8,

Preview days entertain and
inform prospective students
Last weekend, Cal Baptist was
host to over 300 prospective students as the college presented its
annual Preview Days program.
A wide variety of events were
scheduled for the busy three day
extravaganza, including the Friday night concert with Wayne
Watson, a well-known Christian
contemporary music artist, and
the following Cal Baptist Comedy Hour, featuring Cal Baptist
students.
Many of the prospective students stayed in the dorms, sat in
on a chapel service, received financial aid and admissions information, and attended classes, allowing them to participate in a
number of facets of Cal Baptist
student life.
The weekend events began
Thursday with check-in and an ice
cream blitz, and ended Saturday
with a Light! concert and athletic
try-outs.
